Okay so I have (mostly) finished building my underground Bunker grow room! This has been a massive amount of work because I am in fact using an old Cistern that was still in operation in my basement. If anyone doesn't know what a cistern is its a giant concrete water holding tank that used to be used before wells. Basically your eaves troughs run back into your house and feed into the cistern and the water would be used for your house.
Anyway I had to divert the eaves troughs back to the outside. Then I rented a 14inch concrete saw and cut a door through the front of it. Power washed and hydrogen peroxide washed the 100 years of sediment inside and the I sealed the top with a plywood structure.
The inside dimensions are 11' X 10' and its portend into two smaller rooms one for growing and one for mixing nutrient and some storage.
As I post the different parts etc feel free to ask any questions. :)
First pics are of the door and peering inside.
